The participants were awed by the demonstration of skills by SPUP’s Basic Education Robotics Team, which recently won national and international awards respectively. Moreover, four grade school pupils displayed their talents comparable to that of Little Big Shots Show. The press conference ended with acknowledgements and thanksgiving.
